My precious hair!
#18724159 - 08/18/13 06:48 PM (10 years, 6 months ago) |

Whenever I shower in the morning, if I wet my hair and run my hands through it, idk like 20 hairs come out on my hands. Baldness doesn't really run in my family as far as I know. I'm 22. I did smoke cigarettes for 6 months but I've only smoked about a pack total in the past 5 weeks and am in the process of quitting.
I also have a nervous habit of twisting and pulling on my hair that I mainly engage in in private. I developed this habit about 7 years ago when I got anxiety from taking ritalin every day. I stopped taking stimulants but the habit stayed. When my hair is shorter I don't even do it.
Anyway, I DON'T WANNA GO BALD!!
How normal is hair loss in the shower?

Maybe you should start using natural shampoo/conditioner? Like with hazel and other oils and such...There's lots of recipes online

Hmmmm, didn't even think about that. I use Head and Shoulders shampoo, maybe its anti-dandruff properties are actually wreaking havoc on my scalp? 
Putting lot's of synthetic chemicals on your head can't be great for you anyway.

Yeah. When i switched to natural products for my skin (acne problems) they did wonders. Maybe it'll work similarly for your hair  I've been wanting to switch to natural shampoo/soap for a while.. but making your own is just more work than i wanna put into it right now

if you're going bald just shave your head and get super jacked. Thats pretty much the only look that a bald guy can pull off

My hair is thick as fuck. It drives me nuts. I could probably supply hair to any entire country full of bald men(but I wouldn't because I'm simultaneously squeamish about cutting it).
A little earlier in the year after I sprayed some sparkly body glitter shit in my hair for a rave I noticed it was coming out in fistfuls months later. It actually made it a little bit more manageable and I had too much to begin with for it to look too funky, but it was distressing seeing my hair thin out like that. Never again.
In the meantime, I wouldn't worry too much. I've dated men with receding hairlines who were your age, as long as the rest of you is cool then it's nbd. If it makes you feel better then look into products or hair loss prevention.

As far as I can make out, I don't have any bald spots or receding hairlines.
yet.
Hmmm all this posting about hair loss seems to be me just asking for it though.

Do you have curly hair? If you have curls, all of the hairs that should be just falling out during the day get hung up in the nest that you call hair. I have curly hair and when I wash my hair (which isn't every day, cause I have super dry hair) it's like I could send that shit to locks of love, so much comes out.

Same here. My hair sheds a lot but I haven't gone bald yet. It's pretty curly and it dreads readily if I leave it alone for too long.

im sorry bro, just a couple things to keep in mind
-stressing over it doesnt help. in fact it probably hurts. -going bald is not that bad from an aesthetic standpoint. a beard and/or glasses make a bald guy look awesome.
so chill and see what happens

I agree.
Just be glad your a guy! Most of us will end up bald. I've heard wearing hats is bad, but I took it with a grain of salt 
And also while on the subject,
You only need one soap!

I prefer the bar-soap (even on my head for my "long" ~10" hair), though; I always end up using too much of the liquid and a little bit of it (liquid) goes a LONG way.
And yes, my hair looks voluptuous every single day

anybody have any solutions to this?!
Im also loosing my hair.. im only 23.. It's beginning to make me look so much older.. I got some pills like.. last year for it but I never even touched them. Id have to take them the rest of my life apparently if I want to keep my hair... pisses me off.. Like OP said, every time I shower, I run my hand through my hair n my hands covered in hair..  I feel your pain brotha. That myth about "you lose X amount of hair daily".. I think thats bullshit.. unles mine just falls out n doesnt grow back. Does everyone have their hand covered in hair when they shower? I wouldnt think so.
Any solutions to this at all would be awesome..
On the flip side.. OP, if you are losing your hair. Start working out now! I guarantee if you keep at for half a year, youll be huge! Supposedly.. losing your hair is linked with high testosterone! So your losing your hair due to your levels so high but you gain muscle mass like nothin. DO you get angry easy??
Is their a way to lower testosterone??? I never looked into this stuff at all..

Yep. I have wavy hair and I lose probably between 50-100 hairs every morning in the shower and have been for as long as I can remember. If I was able to brush it throughout the day like someone with straight hair, I doubt I'd lose as many hairs.
-------------------- Beats and waves will take me to my grave and when I go there I know that I won't be alone 'cause I've been spotted, blotted, many many times before.

hahaha I don't think your balding. After about two to three showers my drain starts getting clogged with how much hair I loose and I still have the thickest hair around.
